CARL COX NAMED OFFICIAL GLOBAL AMBASSADOR FOR RESISTANCE

SASHA & JOHN DIGWEED TO PERFORM TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE U.S. SINCE 2010

The 2017 edition of ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL will see its RESISTANCE concept dominate not one, but two huge stages at Bayfront Park as it grows into a festival within the festival. In addition to welcoming back Arcadia Spectacular’s imposing ‘Spider’ structure across all three days of the event, RESISTANCE will now team up with its recently announced global ambassador Carl Cox to take over the Megastructure on Friday, March 24 and Saturday, March 25. Following thirteen consecutive years of ‘Carl Cox & Friends’ inside the vaunted arena, the legend himself now introduces a brand new era as a driving force behind ULTRA’s burgeoning RESISTANCE concept.

Having unveiled a select few RESISTANCE performers in its Phase One lineup announcement on November 17 (including the U.S. return of Sasha & John Digweed together for the first time since 2010), the World’s Premier Electronic Music Festival now drops the names of thirty-one RESISTANCE acts set to descend upon Downtown Miami in just a few months time.

As mentioned previously, Carl Cox will helm RESISTANCE’s debut outing in the Megastructure across both Friday and Saturday, where he will be joined by (in alphabetical order) Black Coffee, Joseph Capriati, Marco Carola, The Martinez Brothers, Sasha & John Digweed and Tale of Us, among others. Support comes from B. Traits, Eli & Fur, Jon Rundell and Saeed Younan.

More RESISTANCE performers will be unveiled over the coming weeks.

ABOUT RESISTANCE™

A unique concept pioneered by ULTRA WORLDWIDE™ in 2015, RESISTANCE™ has fast become known for producing some of the highest quality house and techno experiences around the world.

First witnessed at ULTRA Buenos Aires in February 2015, receiving rapturous responses from fans and critics alike, the concept was then rolled out at the flagship ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL® Miami the very same year. Housed in the awe-inspiring, state-of-the-art ‘Afterburner’ stage, powered by UK production company Arcadia Spectacular, the RESISTANCE™ concept drew huge international attention and recognition in Miami in March 2015 and has since had custom productions on five continents.

ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL® 2016 saw RESISTANCE™ team up with Arcadia Spectacular once again, this time for the highly anticipated North American debut of the legendary ‘SPIDER’ structure, complete with its own breathtaking ‘Arcadia Landing Show’. In only its second year, the burgeoning RESISTANCE™ concept has continued to expand. It is now in nine countries spanning five continents, with stages in Singapore, Bali, Tokyo, Brazil and three standalone events in Paraguay (Asunción), Peru (Lima) and Chile (Santiago).
